Some more SYW French cavalry done, barring some of the bases still to be finished:
Above: (L to R) Regiments Saluces, Penthievre and Bussy-Lameth.
Above: (L to R) Regiments Volontaires-Liegeois, Bourbon & Beauvilliers.
Again, these were tiny regiments.

Very nice too. Small things, good packages or was it....
On the graveyard thing & heavenly hell, there's a lot of concern there from some heathen non believers. Being a Methodist, I'm secure in the knowledge that there'll be a committee looking into it all.
Graves - generally East/West, there would have been pre Henry Brexit churchyards, certainly not many Catholic ones afterwards, if any. I suppose your church models will depend upon your period. Of wargaming. A local Papist tells me that there wasn't any Catholic churches (in England) after 1530ish until Victorian times, when they built a few. A lot of church variation in the Protestant side came from the 1630s(?) with the Puritans, various Methodists later on, (high & low & Chapel) and various non conformist who didn't want to conform with the regular non conformists. None of whom had graveyards, so far as I know. But, as is usual, you can always just please yourself, in any case, and do what suits you. You could even have a circular graveyard, facing inwards, doing the old hokey kokey, from the ancient hokey cokeist tribes.

Non-Conformists have cemeteries too. The chapels have all got 'em around here (either around the chapel or in a detached plot down the road). Cremation wasn't legal until the late 19th Century, so they had to stick 'em somewhere. My grandparents are in a (North-facing) Baptist cemetery and a load of my relatives are just up the road in another Baptist (west-facing) cemetery. My local 13th Century Anglican Church and its associated graveyard faces Northeast (toward the rising midsummer sun perhaps?).

In the welsh valleys the burial grounds were sometimes up on the surrounding hills. Apparently one of my ancestors was a maid servant for Dr Price of cremation fame ...

I like methodists, and baptists. Especially the tea total part.
Leaves more for the likes of me to drink.
